Produktbeschreibung
A child always has room for dessert. But have you ever seen actual rooms for dessert? Embark on this delicious adventure, full of giant gummy bears, mountains of jelly and cream, a popcorn ocean and more, from children's book team Jan von Holleben and Monte Packham. Rooms for Dessert follows five children on the hunt for sweets in a grand palace, who end up discovering all kinds of secrets and surprises. In fantastical collages von Holleben has inventively combined the photos he made in Germany's baroque Heidecksburg Palace with an array of real confectionery. Packham tells the story in playful, humorous verse that captures the children's curiosity and mirrors the opulence of the palace. Closely interacting, image and text create a fairy tale for today. The book's message? With a little imagination anyone can transform reality into a land of fantasy-the sweetest things in life aren't just those we see with our eyes.
